Bug Description

I multiselected some folders to check the size of them in property (right click). Then, the number of size keep growing and then decreasing and then growing again. It seems that the evaluation sinked in a infinite looping. BTW, the folders belong to the source code of linux kernel . I guess it's related to the soft link.
